I thought that Geale will be bold and comes at 160 to the wigh in and the Cotto-Roach duo will whining about it all night long.

why would he do that then he would have to give up a huge amount of money to keep the fight alive or it just would be cancelled why would he do that on purpose

because it gives him a better chance of winning. they aren't going to cancel the fight. roc nation has a whole thing already setup and millions spent. there's no weight penalty so just come in at 160.

This fight will be similar to when cotto fought yuri Forman at 154, except of course foremans leg was kinda jacked up.. But both foreman and geale are movers with not too much power, either 157 or 160 geale gets blown away by cotto.. Not enough power to keep cotto off regardless of the weight.

Geale is going to kill himself to lose that extra 1.5 kilos, but hopefully he is able to hydrate himself enough to come in at 180 on fight night and bully the s*** out of Cotto!

geale should come on a ripped 160 and wear a shirt saying "you da 160 champ?"

Do I like the catchweight? No. Should Geale come in at 157 lbs? Yes. He signed the contract.

Guys didn't Floyd "make a new contract" when he didn't make weight for JMM? Maybe Cotto does the same?

Unless Cotto plans on being the one that misses weight by 2 lbs. I don't see the comparison. Of course Floyd made a new contract, he missed weight not the other way around.

are you telling geale to make a new contract if he can't make the weight? somehow i don't think he has the power to do that...
